The world's biggest social network has revealed details of a stripped-down, text-only version of its mobile site called Facebook Zero.
The low-bandwidth site is aimed at people viewing Facebook on their mobile and will launch "in the coming weeks".
The social network recently said that more than 100 million people now access Facebook from their phone.
Analysts at CCS Insight said that the new site could help operators free-up critical bandwidth on their networks.
Data from industry body the GSM Association recently revealed that Facebook accounts for nearly half of all the time people in the UK spend going online using their phones.
